Purple stems on some seedlings?
GrowAllOutstarted grow question 4 years ago
Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?

Purple stems can be a sign of an issue but if they look healthy it's more likely an awesome genetic trait in my opinion. 🤘😤

Purple petioles and cupping downSo, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!Leaves. Curl down

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins.
Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves.
The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high.
I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff.
Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8a year ago

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)2 years ago

Early growth sick plants - photoperiodPurpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts?
Any GH nutrient schedules?Leaves. Curl down
